President-elect Donald Trump's pick to lead the Environmental Protection Agency said he believes climate change is real and a threat.

Lee Zeldin said a 2007 decision by the Supreme Court gave the agency statutory authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions.

Trump has vowed to roll back the Biden administration's climate-focused agenda, including EPA regulations.
